Is it just me, or is Kurt and Hass moving in slow motion?

[Just call me Dan 0]

Open Water looks like it has a "Phone Booth" setting, as in its pretty much all in one spot.

[Youth N Asia 0]

I was thinking about the same thing with Open Water, I think it's limited release to begin with.

 

Wrestling's back

Reigns looks like an ape in a suit

[Guest Staravenger]

Kurt seems to have lost some muscle-mass... I wonder if he's been taking advice from Barry Bonds & Jason Giambi.

Well SOMEONE had to take over the Donkey Kong gimmick since Lesnar went to the NFL.

I haven't watched SD! in a while but Haas has managed to wear tights that look like Angle,X-Pac and tonight Lance Storm in the red trunks....interesting I thought.

Regal's older tights that he wore Monday was kinda like something you could imagine Angle wearing too.

[Mrnoitaull 0]

No one told Jackie to stop the stomping once you've reached the momentum. oh well

[Mrnoitaull 0]

Went over kinda nasty

Eh, not really.

 

Most of Angle's singlets have at least some leg covering.

 

Regal's this past Raw had none.

So guys, judgment on Angle back from injury thus far?

[Guest Staravenger]

HOLY CRAP! The shoulder charge DIDNT MISS!

[reign 0]

This is helluva match!

[ChrisMWaters 0]

And notice that Kurt shaved his chest since he last wrestled.

 

Just noticing that.

[Youth N Asia 0]

How is an Angle Slam "vintage" being that he busts one out almost every match

[Mrnoitaull 0]

Kurt/Hass did kind of a "Here Comes the Pain" to-the-ropes motion when he locked on the ankle lock.

[Youth N Asia 0]

The ankle-lock is such a damaged move now. Seems like everyone can roll out of it

[Mrnoitaull 0]

I'm not impressed with Angle seeing as how long it tok for him to defeat Hass.

Bah, he should have kept the EVIL HEEL CHEST HAIR!~

[Just call me Dan 0]

Pretty decent. Kurt moved alittle slower (perhaps trying to tone down a bit), and he gave Haas a lot of offense. Haas mixed it up a bit with the moveset (top rope spinning forearm), and he wrestled tisk for task with Angle. Nearfalls were good, story was basic, but good. Overall entertaining but dragging a bit in the middle. **3/4

Cole thinks everything is vintage. He thought Kurt was busting out some "vintage" stuff whilst stomping Haas in the corner.

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0]

What a slow match. I'm worried about Eddie/Angle now.

Why...Haas should be considered a player now...especially if jokers like Dupree have been in the U.S Title hunt and JBL is the champ...I hate watching Hass job...even to Angle...not that he should win but damnit don't make him tap out...I hate all the tap out wins now...for some reason I think that it makes wrestler look really weak...tapping out is nothing special now...it used to be a big deal...BTW didn't tapping out become the new "submit" about the time that Shamrock came into the WWE(f)?

[AndrewTS 0]

How is this a "monumental" Smackdown?

 

BTW didn't tapping out become the new "submit" about the time that Shamrock came into the WWE(f)?

 

Yup, yup. It was basically a UFC/shoot thing until Shamrock, then it became the standard.

 

Damn, the Rush "Summertime Blues" sucks 6 shades of ass.

[Youth N Asia 0]

Beh, UPN just cannot make good original shows. Every preview for every show looks like ass. Veronica Mars is no exception.

 

And this balls cover of "Summertime Blues" is not good

[Just call me Dan 0]

It's monumental on the Schiavone scale, duh.

[natey2k4 0]

HAAS vs ANGLE was incredible. IMO, one of the best matches I've seen in a long time. It challenges there match from last year. I wish Haas would get a hella push, and main event SD shortly. I wouldnt mind seeing 45 minute marathons between Guerrero/Haas or Haas/Angle. This match was awesome. Great back and forth action, the story was basic.. but hell its TV. I loved every bit of it, and I was in my seat the whole time. GREAT, absolute GREAT match. ****1/4

[ChrisMWaters 0]

You notice that there are, as of yet, NO tag team matches for Summerslam. For the title or otherwise?

In the same sense that last week's was, and next week's will be, and blah blah, and blah blah.

Geez these have to be the worst graphics ever! I thought they were bad on RAW, but with the Smackdown ones added in its worse.

 

Did an Intern make those with Photoshop?
